Reading through the comments on this thread makes me realize that Alabama will always be at the bottom of every major category. Clearly, Alabamians are not ashamed of being annually in the bottom five in education. They are not embarrassed by being ranked second in obesity. They embrace these things like some sort of badge of honor. It's sickening, pathetic, and exactly what this state deserves.

Chandalar12: Then I suppose you'll be happy to do away with the millions of tax dollars illegals pay to this state, our counties, and our cities; even if here illegally, they still have to buy food, right? Taxes on that. Buy gas, right? Taxes on that! Buy clothes, right? Taxes on that!

Maybe you should reconsider giving up such a source of revenue when we live in a state that already receives more from the Federal Government than what we pay into it. Deny it all you want, but in short, Blue states subsidize our poor butts. So, if I were you, I'd reconsider.

alltoknow: Moore defied a Supreme Court ruling and embarrassed the state. I'm sure, since you are a supporter of his, you could care less, however, you and your ilk are not the only ones who live in this state.

Regardless of whether you side with Mayor Bell or not, or side with Republicans or Democrats, Alabamians should keep their mouths shut and heads down until we move out of the Dark Ages; our educational system ranks towards the bottom year-in and year-out, our state suffers from one of the highest rates of obesity, our child welfare ranks low nationally, and on and on it goes. None of us deserve to ride any 'high horse' until we change those statistics. What bothers me most is that most people do not appear to be ashamed by those stats, they almost seem to embrace them. It's absurd, and we deserve every bit of bad press we receive until we correct our state.

Ummm, are you seriously arguing Biker's take on the Founding Father's views?!?!? It is common knowledge that most of them were Deist, which if you took time to research, you would see that Deism is no real threat to Christianity and you would probably lighten up about it.

Good values can be bestowed without Christian teachings, how else can you explain the billions of rational and well-meaning people in the world who are not Christian. In fact, values can be taught without religion at all. I can tell my child it is wrong to steal, I do not have to finish it by saying,"because God says so."

For one, Creationism is Theology, not Science, therefor it should not take the place of a normal Science class.

Americans do not send their children to school to learn religion of any sort; they are sent there to receive an Academic Education. If they want their children to learn about God, then by all means they can send them to Sunday School and to private schools.

Also, if you say it's ok to start handing out Bibles, then by law you would have to say it's ok to start handing out other doctrines as well, such as the Quran for instance. But let me guess, you would oppose that notion, right?

@ mrsandmr: If you feel that way, then you must admit that they all need to be removed from their leadership roles, because none of her counterparts could give her an answer. They apparently don't know what an ethics violation is either.

And, am I mistaken, but wasn't Aubbie 4th in the West last year, with a below .500 conference record? Wow, ya give Aubbie a good year and they think they've never been in the gutter! This explains why Alabama fans talk about our tradition and history; because it isn't just one year. That's ok, Aubbie, enjoy your year.
